HAMNET

From Academy Award® winning writer/director Chloé Zhao (NOMADLAND), HAMNET tells the powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.

HAMNET is a 2025 historical drama film directed by Chloé Zhao, based on the 2020 novel by Maggie O’Farrell. Zhao and O’Farrell co-wrote the film’s screenplay. The film’s largely fictional story dramatizes the marriage between Agnes Hathaway and William Shakespeare, and the impact of the tragic death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet on their relationship, which inspired Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. It stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal as Agnes and William, alongside Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn in supporting roles.
